Volume Four, Chapter 38, Governor Yingtian
Yang Cong was very thrifty and decisive. As soon as he arrived in the southeast, he ordered people to catch the legitimate son of the Xie clan of Yuyao and went to Hangzhou for interrogation.
Xie Shixian was in trouble. He was beaten up after the opening ceremony and was beaten to death with twenty big boards. Then he was punished again and was caught by the fixture.
This piercing pain is really not something that ordinary people can tolerate. After less than a stick of incense, Xie Shixian cried and howled: "I said, I said, stop clamping, stop clamping."
Yang Cong still had a stern face and asked seriously: "Say, you pretended to be pirates and Japanese pirates and plundered in Yangzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. Did Tu Dashan participate?"
Can I say no?
I said no, just catch me and grab it to death!
At this time, Xie Shixian didn't care whether he was cheating or not. He just wanted to end this purgatory-like interrogation as soon as possible.
Are you, he, just want me to answer?
OK!
He nodded with a tough bullet and said, "Yes."
Yang Cong immediately asked: "Did Tu Dashan use his power to order the coastal garrisons to station the guards not to resist, and open a door of convenience for pirates and Japanese pirates, causing pirates and Japanese pirates to rampant Yangzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, as if they were in a no-man?"
Are you really good at it? Is Tu Dashan so bad?
Even if Xie Shixian is stupid, he understands that this guy is asking him to frame Tu Dashan!
But, so what if he understands it, would he dare to say it?
If he dares to say no, he will probably order someone to squeeze him to death!
He could only say against his will: "Yes."
Yang Cong then said seriously: "The reason why pirates and Japanese pirates are so rampant is that you must not be enough to open the door of convenience. There must be people from the coastal garrisons participating, and they are in the same way as the pits. Tell me, who are the commanders and thousands of households in the coastal garrisons are your people."
this!
Isn't this a life-threatening person?
Xie Shixian hesitated again. He knew that once these people were offered, all of them would be finished.
He hesitated for a moment, and Yang Cong immediately turned his face and said sternly: "Do you say that?"
When the two torture guards heard this, they immediately cooperated to tighten the clamp again.
Xie Shixian screamed in pain: "Stop pinching, stop pinching, I said, I said."
He was completely collapsed at this moment. He asked whatever Yang Cong asked, and he would ask the commander of the coastal garrison and Qianhu, and all those involved in the Xie family of Yuyao and the Tu family of Ningbo were provided by him.
After this confession, the interrogation was finally over. Yang Cong took the confession submitted from the document and looked carefully, and then ordered people to put the confession in front of Xie Shixian and let him sign and confirm it.
Xie Shixian didn't have the time to read how the confession was written. He just wanted the purgatory torture to end soon.
It is obvious that as long as he signs and seals the matter, the interrogation will be over.
If he dared to quit the words and ask questions about the records on his confession, he would probably be a big punishment.
This guy is clearly a lunatic and is not afraid of his brother-in-law Zhao Wenhua at all. What else can he do? He can only sign the confession with his sword!
After Yang Cong received the testimony after confirming the signature, he couldn't help but feel proud. Now, Ningbo Tu's family is over!
The Tu family in Ningbo is not an ordinary family of officials. Not to mention that Tu Dashan, who is now serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing and the Governor of Yingtian, is also an extraordinary figure, even Tu Qiao, the left censor of the former Censorate of the Censorate who had just retired.
It can be said that the Ningbo Tu family is the leader of the wealthy maritime business family. Over the past decade, they have been supporting the wealthy maritime business family.
The left censor of the Censorate who retired, plus the current assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War and the Governor of Yingtian, was extremely small. Even if Jiajing wanted to touch them, he would probably have to act cautiously.
The reason why Yang Cong hurriedly caught Xie Shixian and interrogated was to prepare materials to clean up the Tu family in Ningbo. With Xie Shixian's confession, Tu Dashan couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
After he got the confession, he rushed back to Jinling without stopping, and then he took down Governor Yingtian Tu Dashan in one fell swoop with lightning speed.
This is not a joke to arrest and interrogate the third-rank official of the court. Even if Yang Cong is the governor of Zhejiang, it must be reasonable and well-founded. If you are not careful, you will definitely be impeached and stepped down.
In the Nanjing Ministry of Justice, Yang Conggao sat in the main seat, and two small-sized cases were placed on both sides. He called him over to the four yamen bosses who could have something to do with this case.
This guy, what he sang, really surprised all the high-ranking officials in Jinling City.
What a joke? As soon as I ran to Jinling City, I took down Governor Ying Tian. Tu Dashan is a real local snake, and he is also the boss among local snakes. You are such a "strong dragon" too powerful!
Tu Dashan stood in the court with a calm face and no expression of fear. Instead, he was sitting on it. The Minister of War, the Left Censor of the Nanjing Censorate, and the Minister of the Dali Temple in Nanjing were all a little afraid. They really didn't want to provoke this guy with an amazing background. However, Yang Cong and the others couldn't afford to provoke him, otherwise they wouldn't dare to sit here for a jury.
Zhang Shiche was like Tu Dashan, with a calm face. After all, his uncle had already entered the cabinet and was one of the most powerful people in the court. He was also the Minister of Justice of Nanjing, a second-rank official of the court, and was just a small governor of Yingtian. He was afraid of a ball.
Yang Cong stared at Tu Dashan for a while before he said seriously: "Who is in the hall? Come and sign up."
Damn, just report it, it depends on how you can do it.
Tu Dashan bowed calmly and said, "Shuguan Tu Dashan, I have met the Governor."
He is different from Xie Shixian's wine bag. He is a dignified third-rank official in the court. Even Yang Cong could not do anything to him before he was convicted, and he could not even keep talking on his knees.
Damn, what's wrong with the Zhejiang Governor General? The cabinet chief Lord Yan Songyan is ours, I'm afraid you'll have a ball!
He was not afraid of Yang Cong, and Yang Cong was naturally not afraid of him. Then, Yang Cong asked coldly: "Tu Dashan, do you know your crime?"
Who do you know what you know but not what you know?
Tu Dashan said in a humble and arrogant manner: "The officials have always been honest and dedicated to the public, and do not know where the crime comes from."
What he said is indeed not bragging, because the Ningbo Tu family is not ordinary rich, and he doesn't need to be greedy at all.
Yang Cong then said seriously: "I advise you to confess honestly, saying, "You are aware of your guilt."
Tu Dashan was already a little angry. You guy is too bored, are you thinking I am a three-year-old child or what's wrong?
He held back his anger and said lightly: "Governor General, I really don't know where the crime comes from."
Except for Zhang Shiche, the other three of the jury officials here looked at Yang Cong for some reason.
What does this governor want to sing? Why do you think you are scaring the child if you ask these unnutritional words?
